Follow up: I finally got numbers for Sandpoint, Idaho: over 1000, and that included some folks who drove there from Coeur d'Alene (which seems odd to me, but whatever).
I particularly like the counter-protestors wearing Burger King paper crowns. Stay classy, Idaho.

On the off chance that the U.S. Government removes it from the web, this is the March 25, 2025 testimony of the U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that Iran is _not_ currently developing nuclear weapons and it is at least 2 to 3 years from having a bomb ("breakout").
What would President Eisenhower have done if, at his Army's birthday parade, a rumpled unit had stumbled in front of his dais?
I like to think that one of his staff - if not the man himself - would have leapt off the platform, dressed down the OIC, told the troops to unfuck themselves, and recycled them to the end of the parade to try it again properly.
TACO.
I always find this chart by Hannah Ritchie -- of Our World In Data -- deeply informative of how disjointed is our sense of personal risk
You see this is why I think mass protest can be very educational. For many people who participated this isn't a shock. It's just how it works. But, a lot of people are finding out just how biased their media is today.
As they read a report on the single window broken not the thousands who were on the streets. People in LA are learning too.
Really I didn't understand just how biased media was until I first went to a protest or two.
